where to begin?
you amazed this kit over and over again.
so, how about a few bullet points to summarize::
loved the 'ruffles'.
and great save with the snarky stitching you covered up. thanks for letting us who make mistakes ALL the time know you do too.
would love a closeup of the embellishment cluster. it looks amazing.
then...there was the perfect use of the 'love' paper, the banner stamps (love them too), and the film strip.
perfect perfect.
the 'kids play' layout...i adore how you used the tree, all the different letter stickers and the banner stickers. so much going on but it looks lite and easy.
lastly, 'glamor queen'...the colors are fantastic. and you snuck in the blue trim...and it looks great.
thanks, Cindy, for giving your all to this kit. your projects really are amazing.
